CiaraNi, 1 year ago Danish I know it’s twee to romanticize libraries, but it’s hard not to when your local library welcomes new-born babies into the local community by sounding the world’s longest gong. #Aarhus #Libraries #Bibliotek Close-up of the sign below the 7.5m long bronze tubular bell that is suspended from th eceiling in the middle of Dokk1, Aarhus library. It explains in Danish and English that this is 'The Gong' which parents can sound when a child is born. There is a button at the city hopsital. If the parents choose to press it, it activates the gong at the library to herald the arrival of a new member of the local community.
